Abstract
Abstract : The occupation of Communist Czechoslovakia by forces of the Warsaw Pact came as a shock, not only to public opinion in the Western countries, but to the Communist experts of these countries as well. In respect of its unexpectedness, to be sure, the occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1968 is not very different from the Romanian national deviation of 1963, or the flash Hungarian uprising of 1956, or the Comintern expulsion of the Yugoslavs in 1948. In each case it was many months, not to say years, before the origins and the implications of the new upheaval became clear. The present essay is an attempt to contribute, in a small way, to the ex post facto process of clarification of this most recent unscheduled event.
